• 
  01To begin

  When the paint is dry, poke two holes at each end of the headband – one above the other. Then poke five holes – one on each peak on the crown.
• 05Wrap the twine
  Wrap each end of the twine in paper tape (this makes it easier to thread!) and thread each side.

• 07LETS DECORATE!
  Poke flowers or leaves through the holes in the peaks.

  Voila! You have a beautiful fairy crown – just like Bluebell!

 

 

DIY MAGICAL WAND:

Make a wish! Craft dreams really do come true!

 

 

• 01To begin
  Paint the hearts and leave to dry.
• 02Create the stick
  While the hearts dry, ask an adult to cut a 2 cm split in the stick.
• 03Measure!
  Measure the yarn and cut pieces 70 cm long.
• 04Create the stem
  Fold the yarn in half and push it down into the split in the stick. (Try doing one piece at a time to make it easier.)
• 05Glue together
  Gently lay all the yarn out flat and glue one heart to the stick. Glue all around the edges and attach the other heart on top.
• 06Leave to dry
  Clamp with a peg and leave overnight to make sure the glue sticks.
• 07Finishing Touches
  It’s magic! Your very own fairy wand – just like Willow’s!

 

DIY MAGICAL WINGS:

Twin with your fave Holdie Folk Fairy with your very own set of magical wings! 

 

• 01To begin
  Open up the cardboard box and lie it down with the inside facing up. Measure a 20cm line down the centreline
• 02Draw the wings
  Draw a wing shape on one side of the line and cut around it.
• 03Fold and trace!
  Now you have one wing, fold it over and trace around it. Now it’s time to cut it out so you have a full set of wings.
• 04Cut the wings
  Cut out the shapes on one wing and use them as a stencil to create identical shapes on both sides
• 05Draw
  Draw a teardrop shape in the top half of one wing and a love heart in the lower half. Try to leave a border of 4 cm or so around the edges.
• 06Poke the holes
  Use a sharp pencil to poke holes 2 cm apart all the way around the teardrop shape.
• 07Thread the twine
  Wrap each end of the twine in paper tape (this makes it easier to thread!). Working from back to front, start threading at the hole closest to the centreline, and then tie it off and tighten it at the end.
• 08IT'S PAINTING TIME !
  Try painting the wings to match your Holdie Fairy or Magical Creature! Or leave them as they are and sprinkle them with bio-glitter for a magical upcycled vibe.

 

• 09Make straps for the wings
  Thread twine through the holes closest to the centre and then tie it off. Be sure to leave enough room for your little one to be able to be able to get their arms through!
• 10Ta-dah!
  Weave flowers, leaves, ribbons or whatever you fancy and ta-dah! You have magical wings... just like Willow, Bluebell and Tulip!
